Copy plain text

I find the Firefox "Copy plain text" extension to be useful in pulling
text from web sites, but it doesn't work with Thunderbird. Is there a
Thunderbird analog for this extension? If not, how difficult would it be
to mke the current extension also work in Firefox?

I'm sorry to be dense, but how would you want this to work in TB?

Hm, does View>>Message Body as>>Plain Text work for you?

It should, in most cases display the message as plain text, and allow
you to copy.
